Lupfig, 30 October 2025 – IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, advised by IFM Investors, has acquired Green Group AG and its subsidiaries (“Green”) from the previous investor, InfraVia European Fund III, managed by InfraVia Capital Partners. The transaction was completed on 30 October 2025.

Headquartered in Switzerland, Green develops and operates hyperscale and enterprise data centers. The company is the market leader in Swiss data center services and benefits from long-term contracts with global cloud providers as well as enterprise customers. For more than three decades, Green has also been an established provider of internet and web hosting services for private and SME customers.

As part of its data center growth strategy, Green announced earlier this year that it will expand into additional European markets. In Frankfurt, the company has already established a subsidiary, and concrete projects for new data center capacity in Germany have been initiated.

“We are excited to pursue our planned expansion in Switzerland and across Europe together with IFM Investors and to continue building on the trusted relationships we have with our customers,” said Roger Süess, CEO of Green. “In addition to expanding abroad, we have also secured new land in Switzerland to support our future growth,” Süess added. Members of the Green senior management team will also reinvest in Green alongside the IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, demonstrating their continued commitment to Green’s success.

“IFM Investors is pleased to partner with the Green management team to support the company’s next phase of growth,” said Deepa Bharadwaj, Head of Infrastructure Europe at IFM Investors. “We believe Green stands out through its modern, technologically advanced data centers, operational excellence and continuous innovation, all key factors that make it an excellent strategic fit for us. Our focus is on investing, protecting and growing the long-term retirement savings of working people.”
